About Devika
Devika Dhadhal is a counsellor with seven years of experience working in Australia. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people feel understood before offering any ideas. Devika aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful so clients can talk about what matters most.
Devika uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Jungian therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions are shaped around practical steps and personal meaning rather than a single fixed method.
Background and approach
Parents often come for help with communication, parenting strain and relationship worries. Devika also supports people dealing with anger, ADHD concerns, body image, isolation and struggles with guilt or shame. She helps people untangle patterns that get in the way of feeling connected and confident.
In sessions she balances exploring feelings and life stories with practical tools for day-to-day coping. This can mean noticing repeating relationship patterns, trying small behaviour changes, or practising ways to calm panic and anxiety. Devika works at a steady pace to match each person's comfort and goals.
People can expect clear, empathetic conversation and collaborative planning. Devika’s aim is to help clients build resilience, make sense of difficult experiences and find manageable next steps for change.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Jungian therapy looks at personal stories, symbols and recurring life themes to help people find meaning and direction. It can be useful for people wanting to understand deeper patterns in relationships and identity.Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people work through difficulties with trust, closeness and communication and build safer ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process rather than a one-time choice. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean drawing on Jungian ideas for meaning, using attachment tools for relationships, or trying cognitive strategies for anxiety and panic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options aim to make it easier to attend sessions from work, home or between commitments while keeping therapy practical and focused.
